I'M LATE
I still haven’t heard it.
I spent the weekend listening to nothing but Dr. Yen Lo, HKTS, and O vs. S over and over getting myself ready for it to hit Tidal tomorrow.
Now, I’m almost convinced Ka’s top 10, maybe even top 5 all time, no bullshyt.
I damn near had a spiritual experience listening to his shyt.
He’s a master craftsmen.
If this album is anywhere near as good as y’all say, he’s in my personal top 5.
Take your time breh. I'm late myself but Ka is an artist that demands your undivided attention.
Ok...

"Our monk's swore a vow of silence to the jakes...
Our yogi's did stretches upstate...
Our sir lancelot's at round tables cutting 8ths...
Our mogul just caught another case..."
I hope people aint reading these bars without actually listening to the tracks, the instruments are a huge part of the experience. What a masterpiece, I'm still amazed by this album.
"I was raised to age a few years in a day..."
smh

This is one example of why he's already cracked my personal top 10, approaching top 5, hip hop artists ever.
This is a master class in emceeing and producing, and he did both.
Dude is a hip hop treasure.
What they render is tender, the bars bore me
Young and rich, become amiss by your sob story
My scars last, felt Allah's wrath, God's glory
Path a bridge after I live the hard forty cause.....
Heat gone, we mourn the night.
No one's mixing words, vicious verbs emerge from being this disturbed
As a kid observed on curbs where they twist the herb
Was wrapping the present years before the gift was heard
My quarters wasn't in calm waters, the ships perturbed
I grace on balconies burn, with cowardice shots
Without haste learned alchemy, turn powder to rocks
Kept cautious speech, short and sweet, by my long bitter
Wasn't shook though, I took bow, and a strong quiver
Since elfish, wasn't selfish, a born giver
Until I get my slice, suffice with a formed slither
Spoke with Moors, know the laws, and walk with assurance
I commence with strength, now I'm talkin' endurance
Felt a gleam, too much self-esteem to be a groveler
Been leader since toddler, teachin' not to be a follower
Them days raised my sister rigid, never coddled her
I ain't poppin' shyt, just got her doctorate, I'm proud of her
There may be days I lead the way as a beacon
Attractin' by my actions, not my speakin'
My battle plan was grab the hand, I was reachin'
From teens was taught to lean for support was leechin'
So I stood on mine, during the hoodest time
Was a nightmare, felt like life here was as good as dying
We was born in the thorns, few arose
Once a town's noose, now in soundproofs pursuing goals
On the block with the rock up nights dribblin'
Time spent gettin' bent, hard to be upright citizen
It's more than trouble is, same corners are bubblin'
The pawns are huddlin' then all of a sudden it's....
Heat gone, we mourn the night..

It's amazing, right.
Ka literally perfected marrying his already damn near perfect rhymes to his own beats as early as Grief Pedigree.
like if you really just LISTEN listen he'll paint a whole world around you like a Star Trek holodeck
Breh literally had me taken aback with how skilled he was all around.first time I heard "Cold Facts"

Grief Pedigree is still my favorite. Cold Facts was also my intro to Ka.
that album stayed with me.
this new one might be my favorite since then.
Reign in hell or serve in heaven? 
Take from the world or earn your blessings?
I heard verbatim from an angel's message
My left shoulder there was Satan finessin'
I burnt the sage in the name of protection
Be James Evans or Rayful Edmonds?
It's a dirty game of chess and checkers
Get paid or be left naked and desperate?
I lit a candle and played Jamaican records
Prayed and rested next to my favorite weapons
Saved my bread up and then made my exit (I'm out)
I'm going back and forth with thoughts of quittin' like table tennis
But what's the game if the players ain't in it? (Aint shyt...)
Every pen ran out of ink on the day this was written
Cain killed Abel in prison, while upstate on a visit
They so quick to trade and hate on a nikka
Nothing my radar couldn't pick up
We overcame greater odds to be winners, harsh winters
No lookin' back we break the mirrors, gray spirits
We gave the devil a grace period
The wicked baptized in Lake Superior
My lady from Syria
My interior Siberia
My eyes still teary, nothin' could cheer me up
This is the criteria
